The universe lies before you on the floor, in the air, in the mysterious bodies of your dancers, in your mind. From this voyage no one returns poor or weary. – Agnes de Mille
A unified theory would put us at the doorstep of a vast universe of things that we could finally explore with precision. – Brian Greene
Do you realize that if you fall into a black hole, you will see the entire future of the Universe unfold in front of you in a matter of moments and you will emerge into another space-time created by the singularity of the black hole you just fell into? – Neil deGrasse Tyson
I said from the start I had to be trustful of the Millennium universe. It was not going to be a Stieg Larsson book, but my interpretation of his iconic characters and universe. – David Lagercrantz
For me, the real earth is that chosen part of the universe, still almost universally dispersed and in course of gradual segregation, but which is little by little taking on body and form in Christ. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
There are indeed ‘values’ in the Harry Potter series, but they’re confused with anti-values. Potterworld is a scrambled moral universe. There are Christian symbols in the series, but the author misappropriates them, mutates them, and integrates them into a supposedly larger and broader system where evil symbols are dominant. – Michael O’Brien
If I had to imagine omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent power in the universe that chose to make my mother suffer, I don’t know how I would make that make sense in the universe. – Penn Jillette
One of the bedrock principles of physics is the conservation of energy. In this universe, energy can be neither created nor destroyed. – Edward M. Lerner
There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle. – Deepak Chopra
A further point is that, little by little, in the current universe, everything is slowly being named; nor does this have anything to do with the older Aristotelian universals in which the idea of a chair subsumes all its individual manifestations. – Fredric Jameson
In a way, the whole tangible universe itself is a vast residue, a skeleton of countless lives that have germinated in it and have left it, leaving behind them only a trifling, infinitesimal part of their riches. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
If there is any sense of order to the universe, acting is what I am meant to do. I’m not manufactured. I know acting isn’t real, that it’s temporary. If there is any theme to the roles I play, it is emotional vulnerability and availability. – DJ Qualls
I learned to make my mind large, as the universe is large, so that there is room for contradictions. – Maxine Hong Kingston
Sometimes I feel like I finish a song, and there’s another song that I have to write in response to that song. Each is like its own separate feeling, its own separate universe. – Cass McCombs
The universe is built on a plan the profound symmetry of which is somehow present in the inner structure of our intellect. – Paul Valery
In Sufi terms, there are two very interesting notions of transcendence. One is to gaze out at the universe and to comprehend that what you see out there reflects what you are. The other one is to look inside yourself and recognise that the universe is present there. – Mohsin Hamid
The main reason why people should care about research in fundamental physics is the same reason they care about astronomy and cosmology. People, children, want to know what we’re made out of, how it works, and why the universe is the way it is. – David Gross
Surely the immutable laws of the universe can teach more impressive and exalted lessons than the holy books of all the religions on earth. – Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Everything you’ll ever need to know is within you; the secrets of the universe are imprinted on the cells of your body. – Dan Millman
The Big Bang theory is the idea that if we go back early enough in the history of the universe – and we can do this, of course, by looking at starlight coming to us from billions of years ago – we will see a very hot and dense period where the universe was much smaller, denser, and hotter. – David Gross
It gets harder and harder to succeed and find audiences with the 500-channel universe, the remote control, and people being so trigger happy with that remote control. It just gets harder to get a foothold. – David E. Kelley
It’s always interesting just to see how the human mind is relating to the natural universe, and what we try to make of it just so we can believe we understand what’s going on. – Neil deGrasse Tyson
I didn’t want to take the DC universe, put it in a box, shake the box and pour it out. I wanted to take the major characters and show what they could be like if they were put on a different path. – Geoff Johns
I was good at math and science, and I got lots of degrees in lots of things, but in a parallel universe, I probably became a chef. – Nathan Myhrvold
I pitched the idea to FX that there’s this larger ‘Fargo’ universe where there’s true crime in the upper Midwest, and I can tell stories from any era of that. Maybe they connect to the first season or the movie, or maybe they don’t. It’s just a style of storytelling. We’re under the auspices of being a true story that isn’t true. – Noah Hawley
